Coat of Arms

The community of Fojnica is in the Central Bosnia Canton,
south west of Sarajevo. For heraldry Fojnica is well known since
in the Fojnica franciscan monestery was preserved a 15th century
Armorial that is one of the most imporatnt sources for the
medieval heraldry and genealogy of the South-Eastern Europe.
The emblem of Fojnica shows simbolically a yellow fountain
between evergreen wooded mountains, with a wavy line below and
year 1365.
I have no info on the possible flag, and hope for the response of
the webmasters from <www.fojnica.ba>.
The site quotes a name of a decision adopted in the community
assembly in 2001: Zakljucak o davanju saglasnosti za raspisivanje
javnog natjecaja za izradu grba opcine Fojnica, 07.09.2001. This
could be translated as Conclusion on agreement on issuing a
public concourse for the design of the coat of arms of Fojnica.
Weather this Coat of Arms is a result of this concourse, I could
not tell. I suppose that at the same time a flag might have been
adopted (if anything was adopted after 2001 - the site has no
news regarding the assembly sessions after 2001!).
